Prometheus Watch: TED still Thriving in 2023
I hear a lot of prattle about this TED business, thanks to California Kara, but I'm still not sure what it is. Brian-N.H.F., who is usually very good about breaking things down for me in layman's terms, told me I didn't to worry about it because it was all about sharing ideas or something and cost a lot of money.
And that was the end of that.
Anyway, this video features Guy Pearce in character as Peter Wayland, of the upcoming Ridley Scott not a prequel to Aliens (???) film, Prometheus, addressing the crowd at TED Talk 2023.
Previously, Ridley Scott had this to say about the Guy Pearce character, “When the first Alien movie and Blade Runner were made, I thought that in the near future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the Tyrell Corporation in Blade Runner, and Weyland-Yutani in Alien. They sent the Nostromo spaceship. The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and is played by Guy Pearce. That’s the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well.”
Mmm-hmmm. Watch it with me...after the jump!

The Making Of Jimmy Kimmel's Movie: The Movie
Many of you have already seen the 9 minute opus, mock trailer for Movie: The Movie (for those who have not, I have embedded it below, as a courtesy). Now Jimmy Kimmel has released the Making Of Movie: The Movie, and it is fun, behind the scenes stuff.
Since we're talking Kimmel, I've also placed the hilarious Oprah video, which aired after the Oscars, which will surely bring more converts to the Church of Oprah as she proves to be able to laugh at herself, while being less stuffy than old fashioned, traditional deities who got their knickers in a twist whenever someone spilled their seed on the ground, engaged in sexual congress outside the boundaries of marriage, lay with another man, or ate pork. Sometimes all at once.
There's tons of funny video.....after the jump!
Kung Fooled
No one likes to be stereotyped, but sometimes it has its perks!
Big Chris sent me the following video, Kung Fooled (from Wong Fu productions), with strict instruction to watch the stereotype skewering short until the end. I thought it timely, on the heels of that "chink in the armor" kerfuffle, and Billy Crystal cracking black jokes, and our very own Mike the Answer Man (world's only broke Jew) hacked up this stereotypical nonsense, “It really surprises me that you watch Breaking Bad. I just assumed that when you left the office you rode around with your girlfriends in a pink convertible for a while before prancing home and watching Dancing With the Stars." Oy!
Watch the clever Kung Fooled, after the jump!

GreenTech Geek: Better wine
I'm always trying to find ways to drink more wine. I want to get up to a glass a day. The French and Italians drink at least that much and tend to live longer than we do -- and probably have more fun along the way.I prefer red stuff. For one, they say it's the healthiest of the wines, with more of the good stuff from grapes in it that makes you healthier. But also because I got so drunk off white wine at a Thanksgiving party in Palm Springs a few years ago, the horrendous hangover that resulted has, to this day, made it impossible for me to even take a sip of white wine.
Thanks to Trader Joe's, Fresh n Easy, Bevmo and etc., it's easy to pick up a decent bottle of wine that costs less than a cocktail at a Gaslamp nightclub. What's a bit more difficult, is finding good wine that's also as good for you as it possibly can be. But there is a way.

Happy Mad Men Monday!

The Walking Dead Recap: 18 Miles Out
 |
| The Rick/Shane non-lethal confrontation Photo credit: blogs.amctv.com |
By SDMattchew
In honor of tonight’s Academy Awards and the awesome live blog that I knew The Awards Witch would be publishing, I thought of doing a similar tribute for this week’s episode of The Walking Dead. It’s a damn good thing I didn’t attempt this. Because right after the opening scene and the show’s credits, I found myself with the following material:
9:03: Rick and Shane stop their car roadside to have a little chat. (Here we go! A confrontation at last. Will guns be drawn?)
9:04: Nothing. The chat continues.
9:05: Still nothing.
9:06: Again… still nothing.
9:07 - 9:11: (See notes from 9:04 – 9:06)
You get the idea. This episode had a lot of drawn-out scenes like this. It didn’t sour the whole thing. Actually "18 Miles Out" had a few great moments.
I’d equate tonight’s show to doing the speed limit in a Porsche – a decent enough ride, but… oh, who the hell am I defending? They might have done a little better job of putting this bitch in gear!
Find out where they went right and where things went off the rails after the jump.

Oscars 2012: Fashion Flops and Faux Paus
With apologies to Duran Duran....
"Red Carpet Massacre"
By Marja
The Awards Witch had a tough assignment this evening, and I certainly applaud her for sitting through that entire snoozer of a ceremony because all I could manage to focus on was Billy Crystal's overly botox-ed brow, Angelina Jolie's Skeletor arms, and Ben Stiller's faux glow courtesy of the Jersey Shore cast's personal spray tanner. Seriously, he was just one hot spotlight away from a Christina Aguilera-style face period.
But I digress... there's only one reason I tune into the show at all, and it's all about the dresses. Ahhhhhhh, the dresses. Long, short, poofy, sparkly, shiny, drek, and everything in between, The Oscars are Hollywood's version of a high school prom, and no one wants to get caught with their spanx down. So let's get on with the fashion....
RED was everywhere tonight, and the only one to do it right was Michelle Williams in a stunning red number by Louis Vuitton, complete with on-trend peplum bodice and vintage detailing. While Michelle is never one to play it safe, this more traditional stunner gets it's edge from the hot pink clashing clutch and hipster haircut.
Where red went wrong....
You think it'd be hard to walk a red carpet and look worse than when you did it 8 months pregnant, but somehow Natalie Portman manages to look like she shot and skinned Minnie Mouse to make this unflattering vintage Dior frock. Polka dots have as much place on the red carpet as mullets, ballet flats, denim, and Mario Lopez.
And although I personally thought that Emma Stone looked stunning (redheads can never go wrong in red. Right Christina Hendricks?) it's probably not a good idea to dig through Nicole Kidman's recycle bin from 2007. But to her credit, at least Emma didn't look like she may eat you alive then vomit you up before she gains a pound. Kidman always has that waxy frozen forehead look that makes you question if she is human or Borg.
A more appropriate way to age would be the lovely Glenn Close. Wikipedia tells me that she is 65, but this perfectly-tailored midnight green Zac Posen is the fashion equivalent of laser liposuction. Either the Fatal Attraction star has been hitting the gym with determined vigor, or she's double spanx-ed under that gown and has refrained from any liquids in the last 24 hours lest she have to take a tinkle in that modern medieval bondage.
See more Oscar fashion after the jump...

Live From the Theater Formerly Known as Kodak
by The Awards Witch
I was going to start this blog with an open letter to Billy Crystal, begging him not to suck so bad that I would be forced to watch on mute until someone I wanted to win actually won. I was going to plead with him to not stoop to James Franco-levels of toasted douche-baggery, and to please, please not joke about Jersey Shore OR Charlie Sheen. "Just let me enjoy this for the first time in a while," I was going to write.
Then I changed my mind. I realized Billy Crystal isn't writing these jokes. He has a whole staff of writers slaving over this typically non-funny slop for weeks before the show. So I changed my mind.
Dear Mr. Crystal:
Maybe you can just let Tina Fey handle this tonight.
Thanks.
Your friend,
The Awards Witch
Now that I feel better about being civilly disobediant, away we go:
8:31 pm: Billy Crystal just got George Clooney to kiss him. I now officially hate Billy Crystal. Lucky Bastard.

Gingerbreadmama Gossip Wrap: Bologna Fill In Edition!
This week’s round-up of entertainment highlights.
by T
Gingerbreadmama has more going on today than is manageable. Thus, she's turned over the reigns to her (very popular) weekly post to me, T, and I'll do my best to do her proud! I'll start by posting this video of religious zealot, Tim Tebow, reading Green Eggs & Ham. Why? Because, like gossip, I know I should shun him, but I can't help myself. Plus, as you'll see, It's a Dr. Seuss kinda week.
Who the hell is that with Leslie Mann?
 |
| Believe it or not. That's actress Katey Sagal (She's on Sons of Anarchy but she'll always be Peg Bundy to me) behind Leslie Mann. I met busy actress Leslie Mann in person once. She was cute. |
Vanity Fair has this eye-opening photo parade, of last years Oscar Party. I love it because the pics are quite candid and you can see what your Hollywood peeps look like without airbrushing and good lighting. Which is pretty much like normal people. Well, good looking normal people.

The Awards Witch: Oscar Predictions 2012

by The Awards Witch
Full Disclosure: I am not a voting member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.
If I was, this bullshit list of nominees would be drastically different. This Witch gets her way. I am quite literally only interested in seeing two categories, and am going to have to suffer my way though the ENTIRE show to get there.
And as there only two nominated Best Original Songs, neither of which are being performed live, there isn't even the hope of seeing the Muppets perform (or of giggling as the two old men muppets shout insensitive nonsense at the rest of the Muppets) so strike two, Oscar.
Unlike the Golden Globes, the beautiful people are not allowed to openly drink and mingle, so there aren't usually any super-funny and exceptionally inappropriate speeches. Everyone is on their best, most boring behaviour for Oscar.
See why this sucks, plus who will/should win and upset in each category after the jump!

Glee Recap: On My Way
Harsh and Reductive
by CaliforniaKara
Hole. Lee. Ish. Holy ish. They weren't mothertrucking around tonight on Glee.
Wait...hold on.
I wrote the above paragraph after the first third of the ep, which led up to David Karofsky, the former Kurt bully, being outed at his new school and subsequently attempting to commit suicide. You read that right. His father caught him in time, though.
The rest of the ep was around bullying, and all the numbers at Regionals, Sectionals, Nationals, whatever (it really doesn't matter at this point) were about not bullying people. Which, normally, I'd be all, "Hey! Message! Snarky comment!"
But I can't. Because it's bullying and teen suicide. And I really can't because they Michael Vaughn-ed a major character in the last 15 seconds of the ep...
I hate when my incredulity trumps my ability to be persnickety.
See what has Kara gobsmacked after the jump!

So, sometimes I veer more toward the environment and sustainability, and other times technology wins the day. And occasionally I might blabber on about neither topic. For example, oh, let's see, maybe the death of a celebrity or something like that.
That's the freedom the Tea With Lemon staff gives me. And that's why I love being a columnist for this blog.
This week, I'm pretty excited, because I've hit on something that marries sustainability (kind of the 'social responsibility' aspect of sustainability) with technology. It also lets you hear one of the coolest accents known to human ears: Irish.

The Walking Dead Recap: Triggerfinger

| The Walking Dead goes "Unforgiven" Photo credit: blogs.amctv.com |
By SDMattchew
This week’s episode "Triggerfinger" continued the extremely familiar "a-few-survivors-have-been-cut-off-from-the-main-group-and-require-rescuing" formula. However, I cut the show some major slack because the writing was about a 1,000 times better than last week’s episode.
The Walking Dead returned in full form tonight, guns blazing!
"Triggerfinger" got off to a fun start with a walker giving the windshield of Lori’s rolled car a tongue bath. Once she wakes up and screams at this macabre scene, signaling to her attacker that she’s chow if only he can get to her, he attempts to shove his face all the way through the smashed glass, peeling most of it off in the process.

Supernatural Recap: Repo Man
Coming Back to Haunt You...Literally
by Joshowa
This week, Supernatural crosses into Criminal Minds territory as Dean and Sam track down a demonic serial killer. Don't worry - Supernatural it leaves the dead-eyed stares and bad procedures to the pros.
Flashback!
 |
| And I need you now tonight! And I need you more than ever! |
One such demon possessed a man named Jeffrey (Geoffrey?). With the help of a good witch, Dean and Sam caught the demon and exorcised him from Jeffrey, but not before roughing up Jeffrey bad enough to send him to the hospital. Now we are back in the present day, and murders matching the demon's M.O. have caught Sam and Dean's attention. It's off to Idaho they go in order to send the demon back where he belongs!
Assisting me with this recap is a hefty dose of decongestant and powerful antibiotics. I must also give a shout out to the fantastic "Cool Touch" tissues by Kleenex. The way they soothe my sore snout make them worth the extra dough. I don't know what sorcery causes the cooling, but I am shaking a chicken bone in their honor!

The S.B.D. Smelled Round the World: The Vow Non-Review

| "To make sure this night is extra special I've prepared our favorite dish...burritos!" |
After a car accident, the wife (Rachel McAdams, needing only to look perplexed, and succeeding) is in a coma. When she wakes up, she remembers nothing of the past several years of her life, including the love of her life, her newlywed husband (Channing Tatum needing only to look earnest and hot, and triumphs on the hot part). "Based on a true couple" (this info flashes onscreen at end of movie, to my audible groan). But for me to give a review of this predictable and trite film is futile. As proven by it's rotten, Rotten Tomatoes rating, This film is critic-proof, as evidenced by my bubbly, adorable (and none too bright) co-worker Andrea, who thoroughly enjoyed it ("Omigod! Do you think he used an ass double?"), and I’m sorry if you get dragged to it tonight, against your will.

The Walking Dead Recap: Nebraska
Let's Get This Party Started... 49 Minutes In
by SDMattchew
To those of you who read my article of a few days ago that detailed the last two seasons of The Walking Dead, and who felt sufficiently educated – even excited – to catch the mid-season premiere, I owe you an apology. How could I have known they were going to stoop to using 49 minutes of "Nebraska" to give viewers the rundown on what happened in the season’s first half?
Characters called each other by name when it wasn’t necessary. They talked a lot about their feelings about the bloodbath in the previous episode.
"I can’t believe so-and-so did that."
And then: "Well, I can believe so-and-so did that. It made a lot of sense."
Nothing but dull, shameless recap.
What the group didn’t do was head to Nebraska, as the episode title would seem to suggest. That would have been a lot more interesting. Instead, the group "dealt with a lot of things."
Find out what these things were… and about the episode’s one cool scene… after the jump!

by The Awards Witch
This is the year of Adele. She's up for 6 Grammy's tonight (she should win ALL of them) and is destroying her competition. She could literally shit platinum right now, and instead of it getting sold with Jesus Cornflakes on eBay, it would go the British Museum next to Oliver Cromwell's huge skull.
If I were one of the unfortunate artists nominated against her tonight, I would either a.) skip hair and makeup, put on the gown and shoes, alert TMZ to my location and get sloshed and make some really bad decisions for some press or b.) go dressed for the Prom and pull a Kanye for as many of her acceptance speeches as I could until being invited to leave. It's a no-win situation (ha! literally!) for these poor bastards.
All this means this witch couldn't be happier! LOVE Adele! And as much as I love some Mumford and Sons, if they are going to lose to someone, I'm down with it being my girl.
If you checked out my Grammy predictions, you heard all about Little Witchy and her crazy fascination with Adele: posters on her bedroom door, chastising strangers about Adele's disappointment with their life decisions, and random other weird things that only my 3 year old could conjure up. But you haven't heard this yet...
To balance the bitter, here's some sweet. Wait for

Supernatural Recap: Plucky Pennywhistle's Magic Menagerie
Unicorns are Evil. Obviously.
by Joshowa
It is pretty easy to recap the plot of this week’s episode. When people start dying in strange ways, Dean and Sam investigate Plucky Pennywhistle’s Magical Menagarie, a clown-themed, Chuck E. Cheese-type restaurant. They soon find that an Howard, an employee, is using magic to bring children’s fears to life, and then using those fears to murder bad parents. Howard uses this magic to murder a janitor stool-pigeon and to summon evil clowns to sic on Sam. Dean discovers Howard’s plot, uses the spell to bring Howard’s own fear to life and saves Sam from the clowns. In the meantime, Sam confronts his clown phobia and Dean apologizes for sometimes being a terrible big brother.
 |
| Yes. This happened. Photo Credit: Funnyjunk |
It’s easy to summarize because this episode was not about plot. It was about giving the viewers a fun, emotional break after such a heavy, emotional episode. From the clown-colored title card to the unicorn shooting rainbow out of its behind, it was pretty obvious that we weren’t meant to take this adventure very seriously. Whether or not you enjoy these kind of lighthearted outings depends heavily on how much you expect each episode to advance the overall mythos.
It also depends on how you feel about clowns. Are they the fun, entertaining embodiment of silliness and whimsy? Or are they creepy, giggling creatures from the depths of your most disturbing nightmares? Hollywood seems to think they belong in the second camp.
Follow the jump to see how the Plucky Pennywhistle clowns stack up against some of the more famous scary clowns in entertainment!

Poor everyone-but-Adele. It must suck to get all dressed up only to have the camera man in your face to catch your disappointment and thinly veiled anger when you lose... All. Night. Long....
As a diehard Mumford and Sons fan, I am only slightly disappointed they should only win one award (for one of two categories they are not head to head with your girl) as Adele's 21 was a MONSTER of an album (the first album since Pearl Jam's Ten that I can listen to start to finish without skipping) and truly deserving of having almost all of the major acceptance speeches sound like Mary Poppins with a cold...

This week’s round-up of entertainment highlights
by Gingerbreadmama
LockdownHappy 18th birthday Tallulah Willis…sorry mom Demi couldn’t celebrate with ya, as she’s checked into Cirque Lodge in Utah, reportedly being treated for addiction and an eating disorder (a.k.a. the just dumped diet). Sources say, “She's on total lockdown and only talking to a small group of people.”

| The EIC would be making inappropriate comments about her now that she's of age but she's not hot. |
For the record, although I jest, I do hope Demi gets the treatment she needs to get back on her feet.
Flip-offs and pregnant women
I guess, when you get to be a certain age, you can just say what you want. At least Karl Lagerfeld thinks so, clearly speaking his mind though not making a bunch of sense, “I prefer Adele and Florence Welch. But as a modern singer she is not bad. The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice. Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants."

T's Trailer Park Presents: The Bourne Legacy is Ugly Pretty
Truth be told, I just rolled my eyes when I heard they were making,The Bourne Legacy, the fourth (sure to be headache inducing with jittery camera work) entry in the Bourne film series, which is based on the Jason Bourne novels by Robert Ludlum and Eric Van Lustbader, and the first film without Matt Damon. Then they cast the immensely appealing, Jeremy Renner, rival to Daniel Craig as king of the ugly-pretty in Hollywood, and things began looking up. As Tyra Banks once said, "There's a fine line between ugly and pretty," and at some angles I wince and shriek, "CROM! That Jeremy Renner sure is busted!" then at other angles I think, "You know, he's not so bad and is a welcome and rugged change from all the pretty, pretty boys populating the cinema!" Because, as Tyra Banks also once said, "Sometimes pretty pretty is just ugly ugly!"
But enough prattle. The story sets off after the conclusion of The Bourne Ultimatum and I have embedded the trailer here for you, as a courtesy. I have also embedded the first offical trailer for Iron Sky (aka Nazis on the Moon), and the trailer for Osombie, featuring a zombie Osama Bin Laden, for you, simply out of spite, after the jump!

Glee Recap: The Spanish Teacher
So You're Dating a Two-Timin' Ho
by CaliforniaKara
Ay dios mio. OMG. Oh Em Gee. Oh my God.
Such were the words going through the Glee Clubbers collective heads as guest star (and new Spanish teacher) Ricky Martin taquito'd his way across the music room at McKinley HS during his rendition of "Sexy and I Know It."
All the girls went Gaga, and a number of the boys, too. (And not just Kurt!) Everyone was living la vida loca -- can you really blame them? With those ripped biceps peeking out from underneath a skin tight little black tee...whew, I need a drink of wine. I'll be right back...
